Thunderbird Conversations

New smart reply button, with new fancy icons!

Usual load of bug fixes (save attachment dialog, etc.)

Nice discussion going on in the Google Group.

Progress is slower than expected: hit bugs in Thunderbird (no way to use HTML5 history with chrome tabs, no way to use onbeforeunload with chrome tabs, no favicons with chrome tabs). Slow progress trying to figure out how nsMsgCompose.cpp works. Some of the bugs led to bug reports and/or patches.

Kitsune KB migration: [Project Plan], All English content and images moved over. Some localizers have started localizing content after we found another wee bug with SSL. Localizers are busy with Firefox 4 docs localization so we have pushed back launch date to April 19

Stability Report

Over 17,832,195 million users today, up from 13,885,351 yesterday. Crash rate is showing as 22.28% but needs to be adjusted because we have throttled down to 10% from 100%

One of the top issues (both branches) was bug 644125 but Norton pushed out a LiveUpdate so the crash numbers have declined.

A few things we are watching

Several malware issues in top 5 – still working on this. Created an ether pad to brainstorm about ways we can improve the battle against malware – http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/CrashKill-Malware. Please add any ideas as we may have a session regarding this during the All Hands Week.

Roundtable

Deb is trying to compile a list of things that people have landed or are planning to land in time for Firefox 5. Please send her an email (deb@mozilla.com) if you have something that qualifies, and please include URLs to relevant wiki pages and/or bugs if at all possible. Ping “dria” in IRC if you have questions.

On a similar note, please make sure bugs that impact developer documentation are tagged with the “dev-doc-needed” keyword, so that they show up on this list.

Friends of the Tree

Aleksej, Anders, lcamacho, and our own Henrik Skupin for making the Mozmill Crowd Testing testday a success

GeorgeF(George Fiotakis), Greek web localizer and community superstar, for being very helpful in the L10n field in the last week. He’s currently the only one who created localized screenshots for Linux and Mac for Firefox 4 features page on mozilla-europe.org. Also, he’s been pretty active in the mailing-lists discussion on how to get more people involved. – Milos(milos@mozilla.com).

Agenda

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn’t been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

OPEN

Mnyromyr to coordinate the SeaMonkey response to this years Google Summer of Code.

CLOSED

K.I.V.

Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. We can still only wait on the Google front right now. Didn’t hear anything about open Geolocation service yet. No easy solution in sight.

At the “State of the Map – Europe” OpenStreetMap conference, KaiRo will try to get people to team up and create an open service.

MReimer’s drawing tablet broke some time back so he stopped working on theme icons. We should look into asking Mozilla’s Direct Giving Program [adriank].

MReimer 1) is not sure if he needs this and 2) wants to put this on hold until he gets more time to actually work more on SeaMonkey.

Note: Mozilla Direct Giving contact is sethb. However sethb is leaving Mozilla after FF4, no idea who will take over the Community Giving stuff then.

A lot of untangling needs to go on between the 3 editors that we have. We can expect a bit of code cleanup for 2.1 but full customization will probably go 2.next as it needs work on TB too which is taking a while to get reviews on, plus feedback from kaze.

kaze has done a ton of work there. We still need to work out some organizational issues. At the moment there is no active interest from MoMo for bringing standalone composer into comm-central. That’s something we (KaiRo and kaze) will have to negotiate with the Thunderbird team (dmose).

Thunderbird Conversations

Bugfixes, released a3, then a4 and a5 because of last-minute issues that hadn’t been spotted so far. Feedback seems positive on the mozilla-labs Google Group.

Wrote a chapter of the Thunderbird FLOSS about Thunderbird Conversations, translated it to French, once it’s released and integrated in the public version of the FLOSS Manual, will point AMO, the wiki and everything to that page as the official reference for documentation.

Still the usual polish and minor improvements.

Account Summary

Ubuntu Unity Integration

Unity Launcher extension C++ backend chucked in favour of jsctypes

This means that machine architecture compatibility is no longer an issue. Nice!

I’ve started work on integrating our contacts with the Ubuntu One service.

Did a quick survey on prior efforts in this area.

This will be harder than it sounds, since RDF prevents us from easily adding new types of address books with Javascript
